LaRue County Community Education director Vicki Devers carries many aliases in her work.
Depending on the time of the year and the instructional unit students are in, she may appear as Dr. Seuss’ Cat in the Hat, Johnny Appleseed or even Mother Goose.
“I even appeared one time as the Easter Bunny, but the mask was so tight against my face I almost smothered, so I let the bunny go,” said Devers who has 19 years’ experience with the LaRue County School District.

Hawks boys’ soccer co-coach Derek Bell takes with him to the practice field and games many years’ experience of having played and coached the sport in his native England.
Born in Norton, a suburb of Stockton, Bell grew up playing on street leagues.
“Every street in the city had its own team,” the coach, who lives on “the LaRue County side of Sonora,” said. “It was a goal for a team to be named King of the Street.”

The mission on Sunday was accomplished by the Bullitt East boys’ soccer team – win and advance.
The Chargers did just that with a 6-1 victory in the opening round of the Ninth District tournament in Bardstown over the LaRue County Hawks.
Keeping the ball on the LaRue County side of the field, Bullitt East kept the pressure on keeper Ryan Abell.
Raymundo Perez slipped the ball past keeper Reese Milburn for the only Hawk score of the day.

Senior Cody Thompson scored in every quarter, running for three touchdowns and catching another, on Friday night as the surging LaRue County Hawks pulled away from the Henry County Wildcats, 40-21 in both teams’ Class 3-A, District 3 opener.
Thompson had scoring runs of 33, 9 and 29 in the first three quarters and caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Slade Owens in the fourth quarter. Thompson finished with 187 yards on 14 carries as the Hawks won their third consecutive district opener.
